Performances will run October 23 to October 25.
Following a run on Broadway, The Wiz national tour is set to play from October 23 to October 25 at The Playhouse on Rodney Square in Wilmington, DE.
From its iconic score packed with soul, gospel, rock and '70s funk to its stirring tale of Dorothy's journey to find her place in a contemporary world, that trailblazing spirit comes to life in this bold, joy-filled production, reimagined for the stage. The Wiz is a celebration of music, movement, Black culture and community that honors the show's extraordinary legacy while carrying its magic forward.

Figueroa Jr. as Scarecrow, Jaelen Spellman as Tinman; and 'The Voice' Season 25 Winner Asher HaVon as Lion.
The ensemble features Maurissa Cunningham, Ary'ana N. Davis, Marcus Elliott, Jay Fuqua, Chelsea Nicole Green, Malik Jordan, Kianna Kelly-Futch, Morgan Lewis, Travis Lucas, Kaiel Lynice Maynor, Allen McBride, Matthew J. McCray, John Ray Jr., Nadia Richardson, Khi'shawn A'quez Robinson, Vertreace Sanders and Daisy Wilson-Dzogbe.

Brown and music by Charlie Smalls, the production is directed by Schele Williams (Aida, The Notebook) and choreographed by JaQuel Knight (Beyoncé's 'Single Ladies,' Black is King), with Amber Ruffin ('The Amber Ruffin Show,' 'Late Night With Seth Meyers') as Writer of Additional Material and Additional Music By Luther Vandross and Timothy Graphenreed.
